| Etymology of specific epithet |
The species name pembetadi refers to the local Kunyi name with 'tadi' meaning stone; based on some brief inquiries the meaning of 'pembe' remains unclear (Ref. 94483). Although the etymology has not been fully elucidated its Kunyi name seems to refer to the habitat where it lives, i.e., the large rocks and pebbles covering the bottom of the Kouilou-Niari River at Pont du Niari; the name was chosen to acknowledge that many of the new species discovered are already well known by the local inhabitants, and to express gratitude to the many children and fishermen who helped to collect the type series of this new species for science (Ref. 94483).
